Man, flatlanders are so weird. I was out in the upper Midwest for work a couple weeks ago. Drove from Indianapolis to Columbus and my god is it weird out there. The best was the billboards, “adult superstore!” “Jesus saves” “abortion kills babies” “guns’r’us” just on repeat. Meanwhile every little “town” I drove through half the buildings and houses were boarded up and falling down.

You ever been up to graft on county? Basically the same lol

I moved here 7 years ago after my neighbor died from a stab wound in Everett MA. I am on the conservative side and donate a lot to the local church and food pantry. I want to strengthen the community feeling of the town I live in. Maybe not a typical Mass person but there are plenty like me I have run into.

People constantly complaining about Massholes need to grow up. People move it’s really not that big of a deal. So unless your family has been in NH since 1788 then at some point your family moved here too. And if you really want to get technical unless your family is 100% Native American then they moved here at some point as well.

I was just reading an article about Warner that was similar. Literally no houses for sale at all. The community is aging and trying to figure out what to do but their zoning laws basically stop any new building. So you get this feedback loop of lifers complaint that they’re on a fixed budget because they’re retired. They also don’t want to leave the place they’ve lived which I get. But if you won’t let people build, and nobody wants to leave, inevitably you’re going to hit a wall.
